Six hours wrench time, maybe you can pull off a blower or turbo(s). AND tune/troubleshoot? No freaking way. Simple shot of nitrous, quick install and quick reading of the plugs and go burn up the roads. Hell, borrow the *exact* kit you plan on buying with the money and already KNOW your jetting, etc.
If it's true bracket racing, where you set the dial-in? Might be dirty but will definitely win if you sandbag or do shitty modifications (neon anyone?) to keep the car you know and know how to drive.

Re: im gonna be on national ------- TV!
what is the purpose of doing performance modifications to the car if its going through bracket racing? why make the car more inconsistent. like JD said, you should do modifications to get the time perfect on every time. or get a g-tech and throw it in and see if you can watch that to make yourself more consistent. thatd be a cheating way of doing it, but who gives a ----

Are you allowed to take weight off? What about tires? Suspension?
Ya, i'd focus on weight, tires(slicks) and make damn sure that clutch will hold it, then just cut the exhaust off after the cat, remove the filter, and tune the sucker...

If its bracket racing take the cash and just throw on some slicks, line lock or transbrake and a delay box. Be done with it. Keep it as consistant as possible. In brackets the more you change the more you will break out on your dial.

Re: im gonna be on national ------- TV!
Just got sent the whole rule book.. My buddy saw bracket and automatically assumed it was bracket racing. But its a bracket format (like sports playoffs, who races who and ----)
The racing works like this: You baseline your car twice, then the opponent races it once to make sure your not sandbagging. Then you get your money and time to work on the car and whoever makes theirs go faster (avg of 3 runs) goes onto the next round. They will offset the time at the tree though so you are scheduled to finish at the same time. But the object IS to run faster, not your dial in. Im so ------- excited now!
Now were in crunch time getting some necessary repairs on the car done before its time to pack up and leave. What ever you run the car with in the baseline is what stays on. You cant take anything off of the car.

If it's just making the car faster than your baseline, you're gonna wanna put a restriction into the car for the baseline, and then remove it for the "faster" run.
I'd say clog the intake a bit, maybe the exhaust, etc... depends on how many "faster" rounds you have to go. If you aren't cheating, you aren't winning.

Start the car with a full tank of 80%91 and 20%100. Dont top off between races...
So let me get this straight, They bracket your "stock vs stock" times.. and then you go with go fast goodies..
Are all the cars n/a?
